No. MAC address stay on the local network.  

Why do you want them? The user could, if you ask nicely, send them to
you.

A followup: you can install "lsof" from the Skunkware site, and use it
to see what network ports and services are open to what incoming
clients. Then you can parse that to find the hostnames or IP
addresses, and ping them to get the MAC addresses.

Does that help?
